| I have a fairly fresh install of Red Hat 9. When I set up the
filesystem I didn't allocate enough space to one of my Volume Groups
in order to distribute that space to one of my Logical Volumes
(sda2--/usr filesystem). Here is my configurations.

I tried a few things on a backup hard drive of this system. I was
able to shrink the Extended partion, and shift it along with the
logical partition to the end of the hard drive. I then made another
primary partion, created a physical volume with it, added it to
VolGrpUSRSLASH, and extended LogVolUSR. When I did a lvdispaly, like
the one above, LV size changed to 6 GB like I entended. Yet the file
system when unchanged and displayed as below. I tried different
things such as resize2fs, ext2resize along with it's ext2online. None
of these seemed to do the trick. The ext2resize would not complete.
It was saying something about the ext2_open was an invalid command in
ext2online. I know that there are suppost to be some kernel patches
for this program, but the highest one I could find was for kernel
2.4.19, I am running a 2.4.20-8 kernel. I am at my wits end here, and
thinking about formating and reinstalling everything. I really don't
want to do that as I have put 2 weeks worth of time in this box
configuring it and transfering files to it from an older Linux server
(which has since been scrapped).
Please Advise,
